Projects
Some of the projects in which we are currently involved
COREON
COREON is a commission of the Federa (Federation of Dutch Medical Scientific Societies). MLCF is house adviser to COREON.
Revision of the Code of Conduct for Health Research
Evert-Ben van Veen was the author of the current COREON codes of conduct for the responsible use of data and human tissue in health research. These codes need to be revised. MLCF is doing the secretarial work for this and co-authoring the text. For more information, see the project site.
ELSI Servicedesk
The Dutch ELSI Servicedesk provides researchers, professionals, ethicists, jurists, policy advisers, patients and patient representative bodies with advice on ELSI questions (Ethical, Legal Social Implications) surrounding (observational) health research. MLCF is one of the house advisers to the ELSI Service Desk.
Ethical aspects of public cloud infrastructure in medical-genetic research
Genomic research demands in particular large data and computing capacity. Commercial providers such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon supply so-called public cloud infrastructure. Together with the Health-RI ELSI Servicedesk, MLCF has been commissioned by the Hartwig Medical Foundation (HMF) to research the responsible use of this public cloud infrastructure for data-intensive scientific health research.
